Amazing how you guys still use 'penny' which must go back to when the English were running the thirteen colonies. Tuners are ingenious - it's difficult to imagine a time when there was no music store in town - no internet - no TV - no radio - no record players - no money and you wanted pick some tunes.
Brilliant! I am really enjoying the unconventional materials used in making this. It's nice and economical, and looks neat. I will have to try something similar at some point, I'm glad I stumbled upon this in my search for tuning alternatives.
Interesting experiment. Good use of simple machine technology. But, to be honest, old school friction pegs are much simpler and if done correctly, are just as effective as tuning machines. And you don’t need metal working tools or a welder. Just the correct reamer and the ability to carve pegs precisely. Violins and some banjos are still made like that. I built a few pretty good pickups but I will still buy them because they are far more work than they are worth.
I would be really pleased if you have time to do a video for your u tube site of how to make this. system as you seem really good at it.if you could mention nelliYOM guitars and that it is patent applied for I would be honoured.thanks.
@@ClaytonDarwin thanks for the quick answer. Well if it's solder I can do it. I do a lot of soldering for electronic. I surprised that you can have any kind of torque on those penny. The screw slot most help. Thanks a lot for the inspiration. I had a similar idea in mind for a long time and it's nice to see that it works just fine.
can you please tell how a tuning is set to default or standard tuning... for example in a guitar EADGBe is standard if you change the strings will make noise etc... so how do you do exactly set a tuning to a perfect frequency... harf to explain what i think,i hope you get it
That banjo matches someone who must now eat with their hands 🤪🤣😭😂😅 Really it is a Kool looking something. Also my old CJ5 was camo when I got it. I had a feller stencil out BR-549 on both sides of the hood for me. Only the older folks understand. Anyone under 30 thinks it is an ex military issue Jeep.
